BURLINGTON, Massachusetts,
September 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/
--
ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqGS: CKSW), the leading
provider of automated mobile workforce management and optimization
solutions for the service industry, today announced it has further
increased the number of new customers using their products in the
cloud with its recent win of a division of one of the world's
largest suppliers of high value and complex equipment. The deployed
solution will provide cloud-based mobility for the division's field
workforce and will integrate its optimized scheduling to enhance
its mobile workforce management.
Leveraging the flexibility of ClickSoftware's enterprise
mobility solution for field service will enable field service
engineers to utilize smart phones and replace laptops to service
complex and critical equipment. The solution will provide a
new level of visibility into the equipment and those servicing it
and allow the manufacturer of the equipment to streamline user,
customer and asset data to ensure that expectations are met.
Dr. Moshe BenBassat,
ClickSoftware's Founder and CEO, noted, "This major win is one in a
sequence of large enterprise customers who recently signed for our
cloud-based offerings, including two utility companies, home health
care provider, and others. Moreover, several other contracts with
large enterprises are now in advanced negotiation phase.
Additionally a number of mid-size customers selected ClickExpress,
our cloud-based special product for the mid-market. While cloud
deals tend to have a smaller initial deployment size, over a
relatively short period of time cloud customers will roll out the
solution to the full workforce which will further increase our
growing stream of sustainable recurring revenues."
All of ClickSoftware's products are offered in the cloud
including their mobile business apps, which gives the company a
unique position amongst cloud-based workforce management companies.
With both optimized planning and scheduling connected to a
cloud-based mobile solution, ClickSoftware offers the depth
required today to run a real time service enterprise.
Dr. BenBassat concluded, "Our pipeline shows considerable growth
in large enterprises seeking cloud-based solutions. We also
continue to sell nicely to large customers still preferring
perpetual on-premise solutions. In fact, the total number of new
recent deals signed, both in the cloud and on-premise, is
comparatively higher than previous years, an indication to growing
demand for mobile workforce optimization solutions and to our
leadership position in the market. We believe the transition
to the cloud is a very positive development for our business as we
are likely to see significant increase in cloud-based reoccurring
revenues which provides more visibility to our future sustainable
growth."
